Adolph Hofner

So the book mentions this name about 742 times and we always laughed because we'd never heard of him ever. On the Texas Dancehall Preservation Inc page on Facebook I found this video. This explains why he is mentioned in the book so much and why we'd never heard of him.

The part where they show people dancing is at Big John's Hangin Tree in Bracken, TX. We've already visited there and shared that with you. I am lucky enough to have a friend who's ranch is close enough to there, she can say she's ridden her horse the Hangin Tree and tied it up to the post out front. The narrator in this video is Wayne "The Train" Hancock who I'll be seein at Floore's in Jan.
